How to Center Text in Notion
In this article
Notion doesn't include a traditional center alignment button like most text editors, which can make centering text seem impossible at first glance. However, there's a clever workaround that lets you achieve perfectly centered text using Notion's block equation feature.
This tutorial will walk you through the complete process of centering text in Notion, including how to customize the appearance using KaTeX formatting options for professional-looking results.
Here's how to center text in Notion
- Highlight the text you want to center and click the three-dot menu that appears.
- Choose 'Turn into' from the dropdown menu to access block transformation options.
- Click on 'Block equation' to convert your text into a math block format.
- Click directly on your newly created block equation to enter edit mode.
- Use KaTeX commands like '\Large' for bigger text or '~' for spacing to format your centered content.
- Press 'Done' or click outside the block to save your changes and exit edit mode.
- Your text now appears centered on the page within the equation block format.
